Golf in Mauritius requires early booking. Between historic courses, island clubs, and resorts, the experiences vary in pricing and booking flexibility.mgc.mu)
The Mauritius Gymkhana Club is presented as a par 68 course, short but technical, while Ile aux Cerfs is positioned as a 19-hole course accessible to all levels and Mont Choisy as an 18-hole championship course in the north of the island.
Golf courses in Mauritius: which ones to choose?
If you're primarily looking for the right balance between budget, scenery, and ease of play, keep in mind that a public club, an island course, and a resort don't operate in the same way. The simplest approach is to compare the technical difficulty level, what's included, and the season before looking at the price itself.

Golf prices in Mauritius: what you really need to compare
There is no single average price that applies to the entire island. Official sources indicate a range: a visitor already pays Rs 2,100 at the Mauritius Gymkhana Club, while hotel offers can reach package prices in euros when they include a golf cart, practice balls, and sometimes unlimited rounds.
- Look at what's included. At Île aux Cerfs, the boat is included in the green fee, while Beachcomber packages may include the golf cart, practice balls and water.
- Compare the price per part and the price per stay. The Mauritius Gymkhana Club sells the section individually, while Mont Choisy and Paradis operate more on seasonal packages reserved for specific types of stays.
- Get ahead of the season. According to the Beachcomber factsheet, the high season runs from October to April and the low season from May to September, with price differences visible on the packages.
If you are also planning transportation, accommodation, or a longer stay around the golf course, the Expat Mauritius practical guides provide useful benchmarks for framing the overall budget.
Booking a departure: a simple method and mistakes to avoid
The easiest way is to book via the club's tee time service or the pro shop, then immediately check what's included in the package. On their official websites, Mont Choisy encourages booking tee times, and Île aux Cerfs also highlights tee time reservations.
- Choose the course according to your level and budget, as Mauritius ranges from technical and accessible clubs to more demanding championships.
- Book early if your dates fall within the high season, especially if you are aiming for a specific departure or a resort stay.
- Keep your official handicap if the club requests it: the Mauritius Golf Federation indicates that you must first obtain a license, then send documents by mail, and play 54 holes to obtain a handicap index. (mgf.mu)
- Check the attire and equipment, as Île aux Cerfs requires golf shoes with soft cleats and a specific dress code.
In practice, the best booking is the one that confirms both the departure, the inclusions and any additional fees before payment.
Frequently Asked Questions about Golf in Mauritius
What golf courses are there in Mauritius and which one is best suited to my skill level?
For a relaxed round and a more affordable budget, Mauritius Gymkhana Club is often the most reassuring option: the course is short, technical, and advertised as playable by golfers of all levels. If you're looking for a spectacular setting, Île aux Cerfs is also suitable for a variety of players. For more ambitious, championship-level golf, Mont Choisy is a more demanding option, especially if you already have a good level of play.
How to book a tee time in Mauritius and what documents are required when booking?
Bookings are usually made through a tee time or the club's pro shop. Regarding required documents, it's essential to follow the guidelines of your chosen course: some clubs only require booking information, while others may require an official handicap. If so, the MGF explains that the process begins with a license and documents sent by mail, and then a handicap index is assigned after 54 holes have been logged. Also, keep your booking confirmation and check the club's dress code.
What are the average green fee rates in Mauritius for non-residents and how do they vary depending on the season?
There is no single published average for the entire island. Official figures available show a wide range: Rs 2,100 for a visitor playing 18 holes at the Mauritius Gymkhana Club, then hotel or partner packages that can reach several hundred euros when they include a golf cart, balls, and sometimes unlimited rounds. According to the Beachcomber 2024/2025 factsheet, Mont Choisy drops from €60 in high season to €45 in low season for residents of the group.
Is it necessary to book in advance to play golf in Mauritius and how far in advance should you book?
Yes, especially if you want a specific time, a weekend getaway, or a resort stay. Official clubs operate on a tee-time system, and hotel offers also depend on the season and availability. There's no universally displayed departure time for the entire island, so the best approach is to book as soon as your dates are set, then confirm the package, inclusions, and departure time.
What golf + hotel packages does Mauritius offer and how to choose the one that offers the best value for money?
The best value for money depends mainly on the number of rounds you want to play and what's included. On the Beachcomber 2024/2025 factsheet, Paradis Beachcomber offers packages with green fees only or green fees plus a golf cart, while Mont Choisy also operates resident packages with shared carts and seasonal variations. If you're playing several rounds, a hotel package can be very advantageous; if you're only playing once, a public club like Mauritius Gymkhana may be cheaper.
